With a life that has explored the integration of sexuality and spirituality, I share my experience as a seeker and activist in my home community of Thunder Bay. This book offers a personal look at aspects of social history of the city, with a particular focus on the evolution of the LGBT community. Military experience, travel, gay organizing, HIV/AIDS advocacy, theatre, Buddhist meditation, and Unitarian Universalist community combine in a unique look at a personal journey through life.
“The development of gay and HIV/AIDS community work in Thunder Bay is part of a social history that needs to be remembered. Having been part of the process, my hope is that this autobiographical memoir will be a contribution to that history.” Introduction
"The book, Answering a Different Call: My (Queer) Thunder Bay Life by David Belrose is part memoir, part history of the Gay movement in Thunder Bay and part meditation on sexuality and spirituality. Quite a package. But a good read indeed." Joan Baril
